    Great review, and very accurate. The only thing I will add is that the Henson AL 13, while lighter, is a higher quality of material and craftmanship. The Henson is CNC machined for precision and aircraft aluminum. The Henson will clearly last you a lifetime. The Twig and Thorn are made of Zinc and stainless steel "internals" for the screw mechanism. The Twig and Thorn are also cast, not CNC machined. While the Leaf product is very good, it's not made of premium materials and it's not CNC machined like premium razors are.
    The Henson razor is actually one of the cheapest "premium" razors you can get. "Premium" meaning CNC machined using premium corrosion resistant materials such as Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Brass, Titanium, Copper, and Bronze. IMO, they are in two different categories. Premium and standard casting.

    BTW: Your camera is having trouble setting white balance with it constantly adjusting in Auto mode, I suggest try a manual White Balance setting I find 4000 to 4600 range is pretty good.🤠

    21:52 I carry around a cheapo 30ml plastic spray bottle in my jacket with Pinaud Clubman (and recently La Rive Brutal for the summer) so I can respray when needed - I actually prefer it this way over an EDT which lingers around too long for my taste.

      @@no1up There seems to be an AS lotion as well as an EDT. Which one are you referring to?
      Had this on my list for a while, but problem is, I live in Germany and it seems it's not sold in Europe - maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but importing AS splashes and perfumes is often restricted due to regulations concerning the shipping of alcohol or alcohol-containing goods - unless you're a retailer who knows how to ensure compliance and secure the necessary permits for importation.

    I have the medium AL13 and the Twig. Love them. My Perma Sharp Super blades and my Bic Chrome Platinum work excellent for me. The Twig for me requires a cleaning having to take out the blade and clean after every pass though. I wonder if the alignment is correct but my wife mainly uses it and doesn't have a problem with that.

    Great comparison shave👏 Sad to see you old brush shatter hitting the floor, that's always one of my concerns especially with my more expensive Custom brushes. Love both the Leaf and the Henson AL13 (I have "+" and "++"), awesome affordable modern mild razors, for SE razors I prefer half DE or AC razors as the blades are more accessible in my country (Aus). Palmolive is a good "cheapie" cream for me.🤟🤠👍

    I feel like I'm getting nit-picky, but is it possible to turn off the auto exposure and auto white balance on your camera? Whenever you move, it gets lighter and darker and goes from white to orange. As far as the razors are concerned, though I've never used either of them. I'm sure they would both work great for me and my skin. Based on cosmetics alone, I'd probably go with the henson. Great comparison! Very valuable information for those in the market for a mild razor 👍

    I have both the Twig and the Henson AL 13 and really like them both, but if I had to choose I would go with the Henson. Both very mild but very efficient and safe, especially the Henson. The Leaf has nicked me but the Henson seems as close as you can get to a cartridge razor…but so much better. Cheers from Nova Scotia. MikeR.

      Usually an Astra blade but will mix it up with Feather, Bic , Treet, etc, they all seem to work well. Some smoother than others. Feather blades are the most efficient, but Astra seems the smoothest and most comfortable. Cheers MikeR.@@bobjones8321

    Мне очень нравится эффект скользкой полоски на кассетных бритвах gillette. Долго искал крем с наполнителем дающим подобный эффект "соплей", но увы. Так что я придумал добавлять водорастворимый порошок для приготовления интимной смазки в пену для бритья. Конечно можно добавить и готовую смазку, но порошок намного экономичней и долговечней в хранении. Эффект скольжения получается отличный, но наверно бритье с таким составом не для видео :))

    Hi Heiko, what kind of Henson did You use in this comparison? How many "+" are on the hat and bottom plate? +cis for mild, ++ is for medium and +++ is for agresive version of Al13. For me ++ is mild so much, that I don't want to try +. Maby some day I will try +++.
